True enough, though I have yet to get an asset from the Store that I could just plug straight in, so I understand why people would pay more for a freelancer. Every single one of them needed work, sometimes hours, before it would do what I wanted, either because it wasn't the exact feature needed, conflicted with existing stuff, or needed content added to function. Still, way way less work than making it myself, and way cheaper than a freelancer. It's a nice middle position. I just wish the really awesome assets weren't all so expensive :/ I don't make any money to speak of with what I develop, so it's hard for me to justify paying for pretty much anything...

DM (to the bard): The six cultists shove you to the ground, bow to the massive green dragon, and say, "Oh Great One, we have brought you this gold and this human sacrifice as tribute to your greatness. Please accept our offering."

Rest of party, looking on from a distance: Welp, he is so dead. RIP

DM: The dragon thanks the cultists and asks if you have any last words.

Bard: I look up at the dragon and say, "I have brought you this gold and these six cultists as tribute to your greatness."

Rest of party: OH WOW

DM, who clearly did not expect that: ................roll persuasion.

Bard: 17.

DM: The dragon says, "I like you. Duck."

Bard: .....I duck?

DM: The dragon blasts a fiery breath over your head, incinerating the six cultists, and leaves you alive, flying off with his treasure.

Full on science fiction moment at work yesterday, with this article ; at first it's a regular article about the real estate market, until you realise it's about how it will change with self driving cars becoming the norm!
At first, I was kinda bored like you are at work on Friday evenings, but then I was amazed that a technology which we still saw as complete sci fi material a decade ago is now changing very concrete, "real life" things. I don't know why exactly, but it feels great to see the future becoming the present.
